{
    uid: 'mock-uid',
    username: 'mock-username',
    avatar: {
        png: '',
        webp: ''
    },
    isUserSubscriber: boolean // this value depends on the Subscribed User toggle
}
  • Gems amount: the amount can be manually changed. Calling wallet.getGems() will return the amount showing here. Calling wallet.consumeGems(n) will decrease the amount of gems by n.
  • Subscribed User toggle: Enables or disables the subscription of the mock user. This simulates the Arkadium Advantage Subscription real users can subscribe to on Arkadium.com. When enabled, all Banner and Interstitial APIs will be affected, since the subscription disables Banner and Interstitial Ads for users.
